Chapter 883 - Lu Family’s Hidden Daughter (2/2)
Old Mr. Meng took the gift and passed it to the person beside him as his gaze landed on the woman beside Lu Jinrong.
“Oh, if I’m not wrong, this must be the Ms. Xiaohua that your family watches very tightly. She really looks just like a flower. She looks like your mom. Mm, and she also looks like you.”
Old Mr. Meng’s eyes were very sharp, and it was because he had seen the real Lu Xiaohua a few times before. If not, he would really not be able to recognize her. He might not remember the five features very clearly as the child would grow up, but she looked pretty similar to Lu Xiaohua after all.
Of course, the Lu family never told the public about Lu Xiaohua. Only the Lu family knew that Lu Xiaohua was no longer around, and Jian Qingying thought that her daughter was missing. As for the outsiders, they all thought that the Lu family loved this daughter too much so they kept her overseas and never allowed her to appear in front of the others.
“Hello, Grandpa Meng.” Xia Ruoxin also presented her own gift. “This is my gift for you. I hope you like it.”
“Hehe, I like it. Of course, I do.” Old Mr. Meng loved the obedient girl the most. Even though with Xia Ruoxin’s age, she was no longer a girl.
He had thrown all his presents to the person beside him but only took Xia Ruoxin’s gift. Obviously, he was using his actions to show that he cared for Xia Ruoxin. As for what he cared about? There were a few single grandsons in his family. The Lu family brought up their children well so, of course, he was having ideas on them.
Lu Jinrong saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, but he smiled lightly and did not say anything.
They carried on talking with Old Mr. Meng for a while, and Lu Jinrong only brought Xia Ruoxin out when other people came to give Old Mr. Meng presents. He passed a glass of fruit juice to Xia Ruoxin.
“You seem to have come here before?”
This was an affirmative statement, not a question.
If one did not have the experience, they would definitely be nervous and scared at such a large-scale event. However, she was not, and it seemed like she would participate in such events regularly.
“Sometimes.” Xia Ruoxin placed the glass next to her lips. It was not mixed with flavorings but made from fresh fruits. This was the world of the rich which was different from the rest, and they were never short of money.
Lu Jinrong leaned aside and picked up a glass of red wine. However, his hand was suddenly empty, and a glass of fruit juice was shoved in the wine’s place.
“Mom told you to drink this. The doctor said that your stomach isn’t well these days.”
As Xia Ruoxin was talking, she already placed the red wine on the table. Indeed, Lu Jinrong’s stomach was in a pretty bad state lately, and he had diarrhea for a few days. In the end, he had no choice but to be on a drip for a few days. If he drank alcohol again, he would have had to make a trip to the hospital again.
“You’re such a busybody.” Even though Lu Jinrong said that, he still placed the glass next to his lips and drank the fruit juice instead of the wine.
